Research interests:

My primary research interests are the analytic philosophy of mind, philosophy of perception, and cognitive neuroscience. My work includes interdisciplinary research on perception within cognitive sciences. Topics of study concern multisensory perception and integration, perception-cognition interface, cognitive architecture, consciousness, perceptual awareness, cognitive enhancement, and the phenomenon of synesthesia.
